Hello Michael,

I was searching the web for examples of Religious Calligraphic Art , when I came across your LOVELY site. I'd like to know how you got started and what words of encouragement would you give to someone seeking to follow your footsteps?

Thanks,
Shirley

My order arrived yesterday and I am so pleased with it. It was fast service and the work is stunning.

I am sure that the bride and groom will be delighted too - we shall find it on pride of place in their new home!
This one is on its way to England at the end of the month, and I am taking your business card with me in case anyone else would like to order from you.

Awesome customer service, and great quality of work - Thank you so much!

I have seen your work occasionally in homes, offices -and had to find your website!
The Appache Wedding Blessing, the Shema, and other Hebrew calligraphy is wonderful!
How about doing Proverbs 3:5,6.
Psalm100, Psalm 91, Psalm 34:1-3....I have so many favorites!
Thank you for your lovely work, and all your heart that you put into it!

I appreciate not only your artwork, but the spiritual content of your pieces. I found the card titled "God Danced" on the Crosscards website, and would like to know if that phrase is from/based on an actual Bible verse? Thanks.

We really noted your fast customer service and high quality workmanship when we placed our order awhile back for a house blessing verse (Numbers 6:24) for our son's rehearsal dinner and first home with his new bride. You were also very courteous, patient, and helpful on the phone as we discussed possible alternatives to the original color scheme. We ultimately chose the original scheme and one of your beautiful frames. We recommend your work to others searching for tastefully rendered Scripture prints for the home.

I am needing to buy a plaque with both verses of the serenity prayer on it. Can you help? Or a framed piece with both verses on it.

This season always reminds me of a quote from St. Augustine. I think it would make a lovely addition to your collection. It is:

We are an Easter People and ALLELUIA is our Song!
—Saint Augustine

Michael,
In 1998 we were into our second year of Pastoring a very troubled church in Maryland. One of our Elder couples brought me (& my husband) a gift to one of our Elder meetings. They had been to one of your showings and given the circumstances of our coming from Texas to take the Pastorate(with hopes of helping to heal it), your piece that they gave us on Forgiveness was so appropriate.Back in Texas now, I still have it in my home office. Over the years I have purchased more from you; most recently for my son who lives here in Dallas & got his first big job as a Contractor Superintindent. He also oversaw the total renovation of our home. He proudly has the Builders Prayer by his front door. To keep it short, many years ago I was asked by our former Pastor to do a Calligrapy drawing of the personal pastoral verse that he had given to each of them on their Ordination.
And for a favorite quote, "First Things" Applicable to anything that has to have a decision made.I am known for this one.
And, "Nothing happens by chance".
Keep up the great work & I pray that you will be inspired by the Lord to do Exceeding, Abundantly, Above All you could ever think of...
In Jesus,
Jan

Michael, I ordered a print of yours for my wife.....the proverbs passage about a godly woman. I wanted you to know how pleased I, and she, was with your work.

For many years I've admired your calligraphy, and even bought a few small items at craft fairs. What you do, as you know, is more than art, but a gift from the soul that touches and inspires others to reach within themselves and connect with the spirit of that which permeates and transcends all of life; that indeed is Life.

Thank you for all you do. I'm glad you put your gifts to work in such a meaningful way.

Michael, thank you so much. It is nearly becoming a tradition as staff members leave that our deployed marketing group chooses one of your prints to give as a remembrance. Thanks to you for all of the effort you devote to your vocation.

Your website is pleasing and easy to get around. A plus for me since I am new to computers and their complexities for this 72 year old. Question: Have your done anything in the Polish language?

Great selections and designs by Michael, and I was able to find very meaningful choices for my 8 children for Christmas. The words, colors, and graphics make for beautiful reminders of God and our faith.

Thank you for the inspiration you have provided to me personally in my artwork.

I too am a calligrapher and have been practicing since my son was six months old (he's now twenty-two). I have done many art shows here in St. Augustine, FL and was honored to do the certificate for the King and Queen of Spain when they were here several years ago. I also do murals and faux finishes. Like you, I create many spiritual prints, as I feel my path is to help and encourage others.

I felt God was leading me to let you know you make a difference.

Many Blessings ...

I am a beginner calligrapher, in the UK, and was browsing through some calligraphy sites, when I fell upon yours. Your beautiful designs certainly are inspiring. You have a simplicity and a subtle use of colour, as well as incredible skill, which I admire very much.

Thank you for the pleasure and inspiration that your work has given.

I initially wanted to write something whitty, funny, or thought provoking. But then I thought to myself, why not just come straight from the heart.

I love you bro!

Thank you for all that you add to this world.

Very impressive, Michael! Im currently working with my son on my own modest Website a strictly homemade, reasonably functional site using iWeb so I have some vague sense of how much work went into what youve done here. May it spread the word, literally and figuratively, far and wide!

You may recall creating a special gift for my daughter using four images of a tree through four seasons with a quote from the film, American Beauty. She says that its the most special gift shes ever received. I hope you know that your work makes a lifelong impression on many folks.

Continued blessings on your art and your ministry,

Tom

Thank you for your beautiful gifts Michael. You, as well as your work are truly inspiring.

I have way too many favorite quotes to be able to pick just one. So I will stick to the subject at hand:
"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures". ---Henry Ward Beecher

I'm also very fond of these two:
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them". --Mother Teresa
"Certain things catch your eye. But pursue only those that capture your heart". --- old indian saying

Blessings to You,
Melanie

Recently I was told the expression "apple of my eye" came from the Bible. I found
it more than once, but I especially like this verse Zechariah 2:8. I retired
from teaching elem. sch. after 29 years. Of course I was used to an apple for
the teacher. A few days ago I lost a friend and former co-worker who just
may have died from a broken heart. She was an excellent teacher so devoted
to her job that she once dressed up as a fairy godmother to assist another teacher in a teaching unit on fairy tales! I did not show my appreciation for her when she assisted me as a Title I reading teacher. Her early death is very upsetting to me even though I am a Christian. I met you briefly at a world conference earlier this yr. in Nashville. I admire your work. I wonder if you will or have already done some artwork using the theme of "You are the apple of God's eye". I'm doing a bit of artwork of my own to take to the new teacher's lounge at "my" former school. I plan to take simple apple shaped "post it notes" and leave them for teachers to write the simple word "You" on and post them on their home refrigerators as well as a little framed apple-shaped print-out of those words "You are the apple of God's eye!" You see, I don't paint; but I do come up with a few "projects" here and there. I've also made some
fairly good name tags for people to wear into a nursing home that requires a visitor's sticker every time one makes
a visit. Anyway I'd be very interested to see if you take the apple idea and "run with it". God has given YOU a
superb talent.
Sincerely,
Mrs. G.W. Lambert

I love your ecumenical art--no matter what religion you believe in, there is something for everyone here. Well, except for the worshipers of Baal, and they can enjoy the spiritual sayings!

And here's my favorite Talmud saying, on works of Charity: "You do not need to complete the task, neither can you put it down."

Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go.

This saying is on a poster of a girl in a weight training room. Can't see her face, just that she is exercising. Very motivating! I keep it in my closet so I can look at it every day.
